I need to find a reference to an obscure delete port that is in some file somewhere (in /usr/ports/? somewhere in /usr?) as it is messing up make and, among other things, preventing me from running the gnome upgrade script. So, I do what little I know to do: grep -R /usr/* "any2dvd" This brings out a few valid discoveries (mostly in mailfiles when I posted about this) and lots of "operation not supported" and "No such file or directory" errors before grep spits out a "memory exhausted" error. If I could at least stop it from looking at */tmp/* and ~/.kde it might have a chance to get somewhere, but I can't figure out how --exclude or --exclude-dir work, despite googling over and over for examples. Can this be made to work? Or is there a better way? Thanks, Oliver Previous post about the weird make error follows: On Sunday 08 April 2007 21:24, you wrote: > On Sun, Apr 08, 2007 at 09:30:14AM -0700, Oliver Iberien wrote: > > I seem to have messed something up somewhere, and peculiar instructions > > seem to have found their way in.
